PDF Preview Handler for Vista and Outlook 2007

Here are a couple of great Preview Handlers for PDF files.

Foxit PDF Preview Handler as well as Adobe PDF Preview Handler.

Another one is in this MSDN article. The code download for this article includes a framework that makes it a snap to implement your own preview handlers, and it provides several sample previewers (including previewers for PDF, XML, ZIP, MSI, BIN, CSV, XPS, and XAML files).

If I had more time I would write one for DWG and DWF files. With the above code samples it's a quite easy task.

What are File Previewers for Outlook?

    I would love to have a previewer for DWG & DWF files, but it is way beyond my programming skills looking at that link, anyway we can get you to make one?

    If I was paid for it I would be able to make a preview handler for DWF and DWG files. Unfortunately there is no preview handler included with the latest 2009 products.
